Last week was a disaster with 2 winners ARTIC WATERS (3.50) and TARZI (3.00) giving a return of 13 units and delivering a loss of 4 units on the day. The profit has slumped to 37.1 units.

Still with Ascot this week and as is my want , the 2 yo will not take any of my hard earned. The 2nd event has a blackbooker in the promising REDFORD (5so) , a horse with a lot of potential. In the 3rd I have a liking for DESIARNEZ (1x1), 3rd run back after a lengthy spell should have him at his peak. WHITE ENSIGN (1x1) in the 4th should run well. The 5th has DANTE DASH (2so) as my choice. Is nicely drawn and should get the run of the race. Eachway ELECTRIC GENERAL (1x1) in the 6th, a very open event.In the big one of the day I like NICONERO (2so). should storm home and collect the bikkies. Another blackbooker in SHEENASAIDGREY (1x1) in the 7th, forget its last run and in the last GREY MONARCH (2so) should be much closer during the run than he was when returning.
